My Instrument


My instrument uses falling water in order to produce sounds. The speed of the water is modified by the nozzle sizes of the bottles, of which the smaller one produces the slower fall rate. The sounds can also be modified by the container of which the water is dropped into. The sounds are then modified by the contact mic placed on the base of the instrument, which is the black box at the bottom. While not pictured, the containers I found the best results with were: a tin can, a plastic bowl much like the base of the instrument itself, and a tin cylindrical cookie container.
